Cherpumple: Thanksgiving’s Most Outrageous Dessert

When Charles Phoenix, the self-proclaimed Cherpumple
King, introduced the Thanksgiving Cherpumple to the world, he never imagined it
would become a cult phenomenon. Dubbed the
"dessert version of the Turducken," this giant three-layer cake has a
pie baked into each layer. “It’s a novel idea that really intrigues
people,” Phoenix, of Los Angeles, told GoodMorningAmerica.com. “They’re totally
freaked out at first, then it’s like they’ve got to try it.” Cherpumple is
short for “CHERry, PUMpkin and apPLE pie,” as he explains on his website, since the apple
pie is baked in spice cake, the pumpkin in yellow cake and the cherry in white
cake. “It’s a new American classic as far as I’m concerned,” said Phoenix. Take
a look at some of the most outrageous, yet satisfying, Cherpumples ever made.
